Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

He did look a little tired.

————————————————————————————————————————

After Lusamine finished explaining to the staff, Qiao Ran was also woken up and told them about his previous thoughts.

"So, you want to stay here for a day and then leave tomorrow?"

Lusamine nodded.

"I don't have any objections, the key is that other people also..."

"I'm fine. After all, it's a battle with Tapu, so it must be very difficult..." Lillie beside Lusamine expressed her opinion decisively. She would definitely be more worried about Qiao Ran's situation than rushing.

"I don't have any objection either."

Mei, Mitsuki and the others did not object. After all, they were not in a hurry. Although the crisis in the Pokémon world was imminent, they would care more about the things around them.

"I……"

Seeing everyone looking at her, Zhulan couldn't help but sigh.

As the only person present who strongly demanded to hurry, faced with such a situation, rather than blaming Qiao Ran, she felt a little guilty.

Obviously, I am the strongest among those present, but why can't I do anything in that situation?

According to her plan, if she could find a way to go to that space with Qiao Ran, with her and Qiao Ran's strength, they would definitely be able to solve these troubles very smoothly.

However, her idea ultimately backfired. In the face of these special powers, she might have overestimated herself.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but it was not easy to show this emotion at the moment. She could only turn her cheek slightly and nodded gently.

"...Just do as Qiao Ran said."

Next, she needs to calm down a little.

If they have a hard time in a "less core" area like Alola, then they will probably have an even harder time in Unova or Sinnoh. The most important thing is, according to what Qiao Ran said before, if they encounter any trouble in Unova and have to retreat, then the next time they go back, they will still appear in the original place.

This means that once you take this step, you cannot regret it.

"Since we're planning on having a good rest, how about just relaxing?"

Suddenly, just as Qiao Ran and others were talking, a familiar voice suddenly came from the door. It was the girl with long green hair - Mao.

She had found this place at some point, and beside her stood a blue-haired girl wrapped in a cloak.

"Suiren? Mao? Are you okay?"

Acerola asked first. Mao had said before that she would rush to Lizzie after sending Shuilian back. Now it seems that she has not shown up yet. Maybe it is related to what happened on Shuilian's side.

"...Yeah, I'm fine now, but...I don't know why, I feel a little cold."

Shui Lian raised her head tremblingly and explained her current condition. In fact, she had regained consciousness shortly after Mao sent her back. After feeling that she was not seriously injured, she pulled Mao to let her take her out as well.

"It must be because you went swimming earlier and then collapsed and remained unconscious?"

Mao glanced at Shui Lian. This guy couldn't help but want to swim for a while, so he secretly put on his swimsuit and went out. As a result, he fainted on the ground. He must have caught a cold at that time.

"I'm glad you're okay. By the way, what happened to you at that time that made you suddenly faint?"

Qiao Ran looked at Shui Lian and felt relieved. However, no one had expected Shui Lian to suddenly faint. Such a problem had never occurred before, either last time or this time.

"...I don't know either. At that time, I saw a black fog, and then my eyes turned white. Then I... lay at home."

Speaking of this, Shui Lian's face was full of depression, and she even lost the idea of ​​joking. As the captain of the water system who was known for fishing Kyogre with one hand, she fell to the ground without even reacting. This was really too humiliating.

If the other party still has malicious intentions, then she would be in danger.

"It's very similar to what happened to me... I didn't seem to feel anything at that time, and when I reacted, I was already standing in the cave.

Logically speaking, it should be over there in the cave tunnel..."

Zhulan's face was also full of sympathy. She understood Shuilian's mood at the moment. No matter which trainer encountered such a thing, he would probably feel resentful. Does it mean that in addition to training the abilities of Pokémon, if a trainer wants to improve himself, he must also improve his combat effectiveness?

Considering that Qiao Ran has been training himself to resist abnormal conditions recently, Zhu Lan feels more and more that this is very likely.

Ordinary trainers can only fight in the ring. Only by training themselves as Pokémon can they shine in wild battles.

From now on, I'll do some physical exercises with Qiao Ran...

Chapter 706 [Invitation]

After half a day, Zhulan began to doubt herself, and the newcomers Shuilian and Mao also joined the discussion.

"...I've heard from Sister Lizzie that now that everyone can use Z skills, she's planning to organize a group of people to start clearing out the Ultra Beasts out there."

When talking about this, Mao was also very excited, and Shui Lian beside him kept nodding.

"As long as the Ultra Beasts are gone, the big fish will give birth to small fish again, and everyone can go fishing again."

Although she was a little depressed because she had no idea what had happened before, she couldn't help but laugh when talking about such a happy thing.

"And... Kapu Butterfly has actually come to our Koneko City. Is this the first time on the island?"

"Yes, yes. When I was on the street, many people stopped me and asked me about this."

Mao also nodded in agreement.

"Qiao Ran, you must be a trainer from another region. I didn't expect Capu Butterfly to like you so much the first time she saw you."

Seeing Qiao Ran being constantly stuck by Tapu Butterfly, Mao's face was full of envy. However, because of Tapu Butterfly, her impression of Qiao Ran also improved a lot.

The same is true for Shui Lian. After all, on this island, Kapu Tete is their belief. Anyone who is so loved and recognized by Kapu Tete must have his own excellence.

If possible, they also hope to get to know each other better.

"Hey, if Alola hadn't encountered this kind of thing, we could have shown you around the island. When I was captain, I even set up the forest for the big test."

Mao couldn't help but feel a little regretful when recalling what happened before. It was a pity that they didn't meet at "normal" times, otherwise just spending ordinary days together would probably be a very interesting thing.

"Yes, I can also take you to the fishing paradise on the island, where you can catch Bikini Big Sister and Swim Trunk Boy. And that's also my testing ground, where there are Overlord-level Drop Spider Tyrants and Weakling Fish."

Shui Lian couldn't help but talk about the challenges she faced as captain. Although the captain's job had long been ruined by the arrival of the Ultimate Beasts, they would definitely not forget these things.

"We'll definitely come play again once Alola returns to normal."

Qiao Ran smiled and said, "After all, Miyue and Liliae both live here now, and Acerola's hometown is also here."

In their team, apart from the two outsiders, Takeran and Mei, the majority of the people are from the Alola region.

But this is normal, because the Alola region is indeed the easiest part to explore now.

Although Mary, Yuri and Qiao Ran in Galar have a good relationship, Qiao Ran and others will go there to play for a while every once in a while and have meals together, but they still have their own towns to manage and it is impossible for them to go out on adventures with them.

However, if you must say so, in fact, compared to Mary as the manager, Youli is more likely to be persuaded. After all, Qiao Ran can see that she is not the kind of person who would live in peace in a corner. Moreover, she also wants to return to her hometown. Her home is not in Jianding Town.

However, it was far from the time to persuade Yuri. Furthermore, she wouldn't easily abandon her friends and leave alone until Spike Town was truly safe and secure. After all, if she had to leave, she would have already mastered the ability to travel alone to a world filled with Dynamax Pokémon.

"By the way, let's take you around the city this afternoon. Although most places here don't have electricity most of the time, there are some things you can see without electricity."

Hearing Qiao Ran say this, Mao enthusiastically introduced the city where she lived. This was her personality, and now that she heard Qiao Ran was actually interested, she became even more excited.

And Shui Lian next to him also understood Mao's idea.

"For example, Sister Liz's gemstone crafts and other artisan handicrafts... these are all local specialties. I even made a legendary fishing rod at home that's guaranteed to catch a smurf, if you want one..."

"How could there be such a thing?"

Before Shui Lian started fishing, Mao directly complained and exposed her lie. The guest had come here with great difficulty, so how could she say such things to him?

After saying that, she turned and looked at Qiao Ran, her eyes full of anticipation.

"……I……"

Looking at Mao's eyes full of sincerity and expectation

Qiao Ran really couldn't bear to refuse. After a moment's thought, he finally nodded.

"Okay, then I'll follow your arrangements this afternoon."

"yeah!"

"Hehe, not bad, you have good taste."

Hearing Qiao Ran's answer, Mao and Shui Lian both laughed, but Mei next to them couldn't help but look over with some worry and asked.

"Qiao Ran, what about your physical condition..."

"It's okay. As long as I don't do strenuous exercise, it's probably not too serious. It's unlikely that I'll just lie down and rest."

Qiao Ran smiled and said that he was fine. His body had already become very "strong". As long as it was not the level of exercise he had in that broken world, it could basically be considered a rest for him.

Moreover, given the current situation in Koniko City, it is estimated that Shuilian and Mao would not be able to take them to somewhere very far away. Based on Qiao Ran's feeling, it is most likely to be within the range from Shuilian's home to Lizi's home.

"Besides, we've finally made it to the other islands of Alola, so it would be a shame if we didn't take a look around."

As Qiao Ran spoke, he couldn't help but shook his head.

Now, he has lost the original intention of traveling. Although it is a bit inappropriate to talk about the original intention when facing dangerous critical moments in this world, but every time he arrives at a place, he takes a look at the local customs and culture, which can be regarded as one of the romances of Pokémon trainers.

“Tete, te…te!”

Hearing the conversation between Qiao Ran and others, Kapu Diedie clapped her hands happily. Although she didn't quite understand a lot of what Qiao Ran said, she could almost hear that Qiao Ran not only liked this island, but also planned to look around in the afternoon.

Anyone who likes this island must be a good person.

Kapu Die Die now likes Qiao Ran more.

Chapter 707 [A Day Trip to Akara]

Kaniko City is a city with the architectural style of the Johto region and a very oriental charm. There are not only many skills passed down from a long time ago, but also many cultural relics that are very rare even in the entire Alola region.

"If you are an ordinary person, you won't be able to experience such treatment. It's great to have the two captains on the island serve as tour guides."

"...But if we must look for it on the island, there probably isn't anyone who knows it better than us."

Mao and Shui Lian were talking to each other, but just as they said, they knew a lot about this place and introduced a lot of interesting things to Qiao Ran and others.

"This is the largest Chinese medicine store on our island. The grandpa and grandma who run the store are also very famous pharmacists. If you have any ailments that you can't solve, come to them and they might be able to find a miraculous cure."

"Herbs from the Pokémon world..."

Qiao Ran muttered softly, and then looked around the store with great interest. The gray-haired grandpa and grandma also looked at Qiao Ran and the others happily. There were indeed not many young people who were still interested in these things at this time.

"Energy roots...Energy powder..."

Although Qiao Ran's real world also has a system for treating illnesses using medicinal herbs, due to the significant differences between the two worlds, there is little similarity between the two systems. The only similarity is that the "Chinese medicine" in both worlds actually relies on "objects" that exist in reality to achieve dietary therapy.

However, in today's Pokémon world where everything is in ruins, these things might be able to produce some miraculous effects. The most important thing is that Qiao Ran is indeed very interested in some things that exist in the Pokémon world but not in the real world. In this world, in addition to Pokémon, there are also many things that do not exist in reality.

"Traditional Chinese medicine? Hmm... According to historical records, before the prototypes of some current potions were produced, many people actually used traditional Chinese medicine to restore Pokémon's health. However, these herbs tasted very bitter, so Pokémon usually didn't want to eat them a second time after eating them."

Zhulan also stood beside Qiao Ran and looked at the herbs placed in the drawers with him. However, perhaps because of the arrival of the Ultimate Beast, the supply of medicine in the store was obviously insufficient, and some drawers were already empty.

"Some herbs are unique to our Alola region. I'm quite knowledgeable about them."

Mao also came over and started his own science popularization.

Although she is not a professional pharmacist, as the captain of the grass-type team in the Alola region, she is not only good at growing flowers and plants. She certainly knows a thing or two about the special uses of certain special plants.

"It's a pity there aren't many fish here, otherwise I could talk about it."

Shui Lian was not very interested in these things. These things belonged to her blind spots in knowledge and were areas that she would not normally come into contact with.

Feeling bored, she simply started gossiping about other people.

"After you're done here, we'll take you to Sister Lizzie's house. She has a huge collection of stones. It's said that a particularly powerful trainer from Hoenn once wanted to buy some ores unique to the Alola region from her, but she never made a move."

"A particularly powerful trainer in the Hoenn region? Buying stones?"

When Qiao Ran heard this, he really became interested. Seeing Qiao Ran's expression, Shui Lian's mouth corners curled up slightly.

"Then come here and listen. I'll tell you slowly."

"...Sui Lian! You!"

Seeing Shui Lian suddenly pull her people away, Mao couldn't help but stamp her feet. She was only halfway through introducing these things, and Shui Lian was stealing her customers.

As the daughter of the restaurant owner and the restaurant's long-time figurehead, Mao couldn't tolerate such behavior.

"She must be joking. Let's come and see the Chinese medicine."

"...Hehe, this is no joke. I secretly saw Sister Lizzie trading jewelry in the forest when I was fishing the other day."

Shui Lian smiled harmlessly, but the content of her words still made Qiao Ran a little confused.

Wait…is this guy really lying? —————————————————————————————————————————————

In one afternoon, Qiao Ran and others basically went to all the "slightly interesting" places nearby. Many things were indeed very Alola-style, such as some local wood carvings or art paintings. Many of these artistic styles had a very deep connection with the "patterns" on Tapu's body, just like the patterns on Tapu Butterfly, on Akala Island, they were abstracted into something like a totem.
